 AIArchitect, May 3, 2004 - Win-Win Ecology: Food for Architects’ Thoughts
Rosenzweig’s approach of “reconciliation ecology,” which he explains is the “science of inventing, establishing, and maintaining new habitats to conserve species diversity in places where people live, work, or play,” doesn’t presume that we should surrender our creature comforts or turn back progress that already has been made through conservation and restoration.
Rosenzweig believes that without reconciliation ecology, “diversity is doomed.” But he also is sensitive to those who think this book tramples on “green” causes.
Rosenzweig also makes his case for the economic benefits of reconciliation ecology through more examples, including those of the restaurant and salt marsh in Eliat, and of the Mormon Church, which sells hunting rights to help manage the game species and allow hunters to hunt their prey legally.

 Institute for Social Ecology - Redeeming Reason: Domination and Reconciliation in Dialectic of Enlightenment
Horkheimer and Adorno were famously reticent about delineating precisely what contours this reconciliation with nature might take; in keeping with their aversion to teleology, they abjured positive descriptions of redemption.
Were speculation concerning the state of reconciliation allowed, then it would be impossible to conceive that state as either the undifferentiated unity of subject and object or their hostile antithesis: rather it would be the communication of what is differentiated.
“Reconciliation would release the nonidentical, would rid it of thought’s coercion, would open up the multiplicity of differentiation… Reconciliation would be remembrance of the no longer inimical Many, and thus anathema to subjective reason.

 Ideology, Ecology and Bonhoeffer by Willis Jenkins
Watching today a U.S. administration that seems as bellicose in stewarding its own lands as belligerent in invading others, claiming its mandate for both with the support of many evangelicals, we progressive Christians can be doubly disheartened, as our vocabulary of faith is bent in support of destructive politics.
It is difficult for churches to “wage reconciliation” when Christianity seems to many a divisive scourge, or at least the constituency underwriting what scourges.
Second, we can cooperate everywhere possible with those still working for peace with earth, moving toward reconciliation, recognizing that the hope of Christ's community is very often (sometimes more often) glimpsed outside those who claim it.

 Reconciliation ecology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reconciliation ecology is the science of accommodating wild species within human-modified or -occupied landscapes.
It holds that protecting wilderness, though necessary, is not enough to preserve biodiversity given the large area required for a diverse range of species to survive in the long term.
The concept has been popularized by the ecologist Michael Rosenzweig in his book Win-Win Ecology.

 Ethnoprimatology: Towards Reconciliation of Biological and Cultural Anthropology
Some look to the link between primatology and human evolutionary ecology, with its attention to the evolution of culture and human behavioral ecology (e.g., Smith and Winterhalder 1992) as a bridge between the biological and cultural realms of anthropological inquiry (Rodman 1999).
Similarly, for ethnoprimatologists, the critique of the notion of a natural environment for nonhuman primates (i.e., as the only appropriate context to examine primate behavior) does not imply a rejection of the importance of conservation efforts that seek to maintain intact, minimally-altered habitat for nonhuman populations.
Instead, the objective is to challenge ourselves and others to carefully consider what we mean by "human habitat disturbance," and "community ecology," and to consider the broader ecological context that includes the human dimension (e.g., history and power and the role of power relations in conditioning human-environmental interaction (Moore 1996; Bryant and Bailey 1997).

While reconciliation ecology certainly appears to be an attractive complement to its reservation and restoration antecedents, I do not think Rosenzweig has made the case for its superiority, in at least two respects.
First, he fails to provide hard evidence that a great number of the planet's threatened species are sufficiently adaptable to be able survive in the new human-altered habitats reconciliation ecology would create.
Second, he fails to address in a meaningful way the difficult issue of the long-term economic costs of implementing reconciliation ecology on a large scale, internationally, or even in the United States.
